Manchester United had three loanees in action on Sunday in another busy schedule of football.

Marcus Rashford Rashford was incredible in the Champions League on Thursday night for FC Barcelona.
His stunning brace gave the Catalans a 2-0 win away against Newcastle United in a vintage display. Nonetheless, he was left out of the first eleven to face Getafe this weekend by Hansi Flick due to being late for training.
Rashford did come on as a second half substitute in Barcelona’s 3-0 victory over Getafe.
The English winger grabbed another assist as he expertly ran onto a long pass and kept calm to pick out Dani Olmo in the 62nd minute of play.
Rashford also drew a big cheer from the crowd when he ran back and won the ball back deep into Barca’s territory, showing the work rate that Flick will demand of him if he is to make it in Catalonia.
He also had two shots on target in the match but could not open his La Liga account
Rashford completed 93% of his passes in the match but was unsuccessful in his only dribble attempt.
Radek Vitek The Czech keeper has had an impressive loan so far at Bristol City but he conceded three goals in their shock 1-3 home loss to Oxford United.
He picked up a yellow card and only managed to make three saves in the match, two of which were from inside the area.
Vitek completed one high claim and also his only run out attempt as he raced out of his goal to clear the danger.
He was also decent on the ball, completing 81% of his passes and half of his long ball attempts.
Jadon Sancho The English winger only managed to play the final eight minutes of Aston Villa’s 1-1 draw with Sunderland.
He had zero shots on goal and could not complete any of his dribble attempts.
Sancho did complete 93% of his passes but failed to create any danger as his two crossing attempts were easily dealt with by the Black Cats’ defence.
